1 dead, 3 others wounded in multiple Minneapolis shootings early Sunday

One person was killed and multiple others shot in the early hours of Sunday morning in Minneapolis. 

According to Minneapolis Police Department, the fatal shooting happened around 2:23 a.m. Sunday on the 4300 block of S 4th Avenue. Offices arrived at the scene and found a man inside a building, where he was in critical condition having been shot multiple times. 

The victim, believed to be in his 30s, was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. Prior to his death, MPD launched a homicide investigation "due to the seriousness of his injuries," MPD said in a release. 

The suspect fled from the scene before police arrived. Police believe that the victim and a suspect got into a dispute that escalated into a shooting. The victim's identity will be released at a later stage by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. 

There were also shootings that resulted in non-critical injuries to other victims at 1:24 a.m., 2 a.m. and 3:06 a.m., according to Minneapolis PD. 

The 1:24 a.m. shooting happened at the intersection of North 4th Street and North 1st Avenue, where officers heard the sound of shots. A short distance away, a possible suspect was arrested and booked into jail. At the same approximate time, a man was transported by private vehicle to HCMC with a non-critical gunshot wound. 

The shooting that was reported around 2 a.m. Sunday happened on the 300 block of West Broadway Avenue, where a police sergeant on patrol reported hearing gunshots. The sergeant was investigating when he spotted a vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed. That vehicle wound up at North Memorial Health Hospital, serving as a transport for a man who had suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. 

The shooting that was reported by police at 3:06 a.m. happened at an unknown location. At the time of the media release, police stated that officers were at HCMC when a man walked into the emergency department with a non-critical gunshot wound. 

All of the aforementioned shootings are being investigated.
